Important News from Power Computing Corporation:
Earlier today, Power Computing Corporation introduced PowerTower and
PowerCenter - the world's fastest, highest performance, most reliable
and affordable PowerPC 604 MacOS systems in history. And the early
results are in:
"Power Computing has fielded some killer machines (PowerTower and
PowerCenter) and Apple will be hard-pressed to catch up."
- MacUser Magazine, July 1996
"If you're looking for maximum performance, no current Apple system
can match the PowerTowers."
- Macweek Magazine, April 29, 1996
PowerTower - based on the 604 PowerPC running at 180 or 160MHz -is the
world's fastest MacOS system ever, with prices starting at just $4,195.
PowerTower is more than twenty percent faster and twenty percent less
expensive than Apple's top-of-the-line PowerMacintosh 9500/150.
PowerCenter makes 604 PowerPC computing a reality for the masses. With
prices starting at just $1,895, PowerCenter sports an upgradeable CPU
daughtercard with 120, 132 and 150MHz 604 microprocessors. In fact, the
PowerCenter not only out performs Apple's new PowerMacintosh 7600 and
costs just a fraction of the price - the PowerCenter 604/150 holds its
own against the new PowerMacintosh 8500 and 9500/150's.
The PowerCenter 604/150 which starts at $2,995 with 16MB of RAM, 1GB
Hard Drive, 256K L2 Cache, onboard video, extended keyboard and bundled
software is more than $1,450 less expensive than the 8500 and nearly
$1,700 less expensive than the new 9500/150 for comparable CPU performance.
Power also announced upgrade plans for PowerCurve customers -- starting
today, PowerCurve 601/120 owners can purchase a 604/120 upgrade
daughtercard for just $295.

Pazi, sada je maj, u USA je već u prodaji junski broj časopisa, a nije ništa
čudno da se zna šta će biti objavljeno u sledećem koji je većinom već
pripremljen i opskrbljen tekstovima, ostaje samo da se završi i preda u
štampu. Tako to rade na Zapadu. Inače, informacija od pre par godina vezana za

Subject: *** IBM licenses MacOS.
<http://www.chips.ibm.com/news/macos.html>
some snippets:
---
May 6, 1996
Fishkill, New York -- IBM today announced it has reached agreement with
Apple Computer to license the Mac OS operating system, a step both
companies expect will significantly open and enhance growth of the Mac OS
marketplace.
---
Datatech (DTK) Enterprises Co., LTD and Tatung Co., manufacturers of a
range of computer equipment, will be among the first companies to announce
their intent to sub-license the Mac OS from IBM. DTK is based in the U.S.
with operations in China, Taiwan and Europe. Tatung is based in Taipei,
Taiwan.
Also today, the first third-party system logic products and firmware for
PowerPC Platform systems are being announced simultaneously by the
following companies:
-VLSI Technology, Inc. of San Jose, Calif. is announcing its Gold Eagle
support logic solution for PowerPC Platform systems. According to VLSI,
these board-level components, which are in the final stages of development
and testing, will help systems manufacturers build Mac OS computers
offering clear price and performance advantages over machines based on
other hardware/software architectures.
-FirmWorks, of Mt. View, Calif. is announcing immediate availability of
Power Firmware, the first open firmware product for PowerPC Platform
systems. Firmware is the microcode, or computer instructions, that reside
in read-only memory (ROM). FirmWorks says this product significantly
reduces the time and engineering resources needed by OEMs to build systems
that can fully support the booting of multiple operating systems such as
the Mac OS, Windows NT and others.
---
The licensing agreement allows IBM to sub-license the Mac OS anywhere in
the world and in any market segment. Systems manufacturers can tap
potential opportunities in emerging Asian markets and differentiate their
systems in U.S. and European markets.
"We see significant Mac OS growth potential worldwide," said John C.
Gleason, vice president and general manager of worldwide marketing and
sales, IBM Microelectronics, "particularly in Asia and Japan for
high-volume notebooks, sub-notebooks and entry desktop systems."
Rob Barris
Quicksilver Software Inc.

* Opinions expressed not necessarily those of my employer *
mac.1060mikis,
Apple issued a press release Monday stating that IBM has licenced the Mac
OS for bundling with "a wide variety of hardware systems, based on the
current Power Macintosh architecture or on the PowerPC Platform
specification (CHRP)".
In addition, the press release stated that "IBM intends to sign
sub-licensing agreements for the Mac OS with Datatech Enterprises Co., LTD
(DTK) and Tatung Co., both manufacturers of a range of computer equipment
(see separate announcement from IBM, released today).
"The licensing agreement includes versions 7.5.X of the Mac OS, access
to the next major release of the Mac OS, and access to the 16 local language
versions of the Mac OS that Apple has so far approved for licensing (U.S.
English, UK English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish,
Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese
and Japanese.)."
"The times they are a changin".

The big news this week involves licensing: Apple gets Java from
Sun Microsystems and announces plans to integrate it into the
Mac OS, and IBM gets the Mac OS from Apple. Also in this issue,

a look at the new HTML authoring tool PageSpinner, and Sean

mac.1071chitan,
Popravio sam tastaturu! Tj. popravila se sama. Posle duzeg sedenja na
nekim cevima od radijatora u mom servisu izgleda da je "ispario deterdzent"
kojim je tastaturu prao moj ortak.
Uzgred receno okrenuo sam boga oca da u medjuvremenu nadjem ili kupin
neku tastaturu. Rezultat je katastrofalan! Ako vam nesto treba za MAC-a u ovoj
Stradiji toga ili nema ili je sjajno skupo. Na sajmu je klon tastatura za MAC-a
kod Meridijana kostala citavih 230dm (valjda je u pitanju sajamski popust).
Moj ortak Manda je pitao ljude zasto je cena tako visoka a ako odgovor dobio
obrazlozenje da je "proces nabavke" jako komplikovan tj. u pitanju je rizicni
sverc na male kolicine i za mali broj nesigurnih kupaca!?
No, medjutim, elem, sada moj MAC radi kako treba i izmedju ostalog
emulira Atarija 7 puta brze nego sto emulira Atari sam sebe. Sjajna stvar.
Da samo vidite kao izgleda CALAMUS na A4 portret monitoru!!!!

Kako klon, zar ne valjaju one Apple Design tastature? Ti, verovatno, imaš
Apple Extended Keyboard, pa ti se učinilo da možda nije original Apple. Na
žalost, jeste, Apple je prestao da proizvodi Extended tastature (mogu se još
naći u USA, cena se kreće od 100 do 140 dolara) i pravi ove Apple Design
tastature koje su jeftinije (kod nekih dilera se u USA mogu naći i za $60).
Inače, Meridijanova cena je stvarno bezobrazluk, ali tako ti je to kod nas kad
je reč o Meku. Valjda će se nešto poraviti sada kada postoje dva zvanična
dilera.

EDT.
Apple Details Plans for Webcast Coverage of Developer Conference
Schedule Features Corporate Strategy Keynote, Live Interviews, Special Events
CUPERTINO, California--May 7, 1996--Apple Computer, Inc. today outlined the
programming for its Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) WebCast. The webcast
will bring to the 'Net audio and video of the company's business strategy--to
be outlined by Dr. Gilbert F. Amelio, the company's CEO and chairman.
Apple's WWDC WebCast (http://wwdc.apple.com) will also include opening
sessions with key Apple executives, such as Larry Tesler, vice president of
Internet platforms and chief scientist; Heidi Roizen, vice president of
developer relations and Guy Kawasaki, Apple fellow, about the company's
Internet, developer and Macintosh advocacy strategies, respectively. The
webcast will also offer live chats with these executives, as well as
discussion boards for sharing ideas, and from-the-scene coverage of the
developers conference.
Apple WebCasts take advantage of the company's superior multi-media
technologies, including audio, video, digital pictures and QuickTime VR (for
creating virtual reality experiences). By adding the webcast to the WWDC
offerings, Apple creates a new venue for getting closer to developers.
"Staying abreast and even ahead of new technologies is the lifeblood of
developers on any platform and our webcast is an ideal way for developers to
stay further ahead," said Heidi Roizen, vice president of Apple developer
relations, "We recently pioneered the webcast, the Internet's smartest way for
engaging communities of people, and we are thrilled about using this new venue
to interact with developers far and near."
What's showing on the WWDC WebCast
The WWDC WebCast site at http://wwdc.apple.com launched on April 26; daily
updates kicked off May 6; and live coverage from the conference will occur
May 13-17. The webcast allows developers to: join the conference opening
sessions; download technologies and tools; receive daily reports from the
show; check out the "Person of the Day" (such as speakers and developers);
read first-hand, up-to-the-minute articles and reviews on products; share
ideas and learn from each other.
The webcast's live action is expected to include: "spy-cams" that capture
candid action; chats with Apple executives and industry pundits, and online
panel-style debates. For those who can't join the webcast, Apple will archive
much of the information and expects to maintain the site for the next year.
This webcast marks the first time Apple is providing developers an
opportunity to experienc conference highlights on the Web, enriching
attendees'experience and providing those who can't attend a multi-media window
into developer opportunities on Apple platforms.
Getting Prepared for the webcast
To fully experience an Apple WebCast, users should have a minimum 14.4
baud modem and a direct Internet connection, as well as IRC (Internet Relay
Chat) client software. Additional "Helper Applications" can (and should) be
secured from the Web site (http://wwdc.apple.com) prior to the events kicking
off on May 13. Conference attendees are invited to check out the webcast the
week of the show from one of the Apple Cyberdog kiosks located at the
convention center.
The WWDC WebCast calendar of events, the complete WWDC conference agenda,
and registration information is available on the Web at http://wwdc.apple.com

Apple Announces Apple Image Capture Platform
Developer Platform Will Drive New Customer Uses
WWDC, SAN JOSE, California--May 13, 1996-- As a pioneer in the computing
industry, Apple Computer, Inc. continues to set the stage for creating new
markets with new technologies. Apple today introduced the Apple Image Capture
Platform and announced its intentions to license core components of this
platform. With this announcement, Apple is once again poised to create a new
industry it calls Personal Imaging. Apple defines Personal Imaging as the
total user experience related to the capture of an image, including image
editing and output.
The heart of the Apple Image Capture Platform is Apple's QuickTime IC
(Image Capture) technology. This technology combines a multi-tasking,
realtime operating system with Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) built
specifically for image capture devices based on an embedded microprocessor.
These APIs allow independent software developers, systems integrators and
camera vendors the ability to create compelling customer solutions that don't
require a computer, such as in-camera time lapse photography, direct
connection to the Internet to share and transmit images, and in-camera
filters. The APIs and tools are expected to be available for multiple host
platforms, including Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.
Designed as an open, modular platform, the Apple Image Capture Platform
extends Apple's QuickTime architecture for displaying and storing time-based
media on Windows-and Mac OS-based computers, ensuring easier adoption by the
already large base of QuickTime developers.
"I think we're on the brink of a revolution in personal imaging," said Dr.
Terry Bailey, vice president of imaging and peripherals for Apple Americas.
"We're providing a cross-platform foundation which we believe will ultimately
drive the creation of a diverse range of new, innovative image capture
solutions. And, licensing the technologies to camera vendors in particular,
will give us access to a whole new market."
Motorola's newly announced MPC823 chip includes technologies from the
Apple Image Capture Platform, making it easy for developers to integrate the
microprocessor hardware and imaging software to design innovative, customized
applications for cameras and other image capture devices. This integration of
hardware and software also allows developers to reduce the cost associated
with storing images in the memory of a digital imaging device. It also
provides an excellent business proposition for camera vendors, allowing each
manufacturer to focus on their specific expertise in image science, optics,
manufacturing, etc., while reducing the complexity of building more powerful
next generation image capture devices.
"Apple's commitment to the Personal Imaging market represents a positive
move for consumers," said Bruce Chizen, vice president and general manager of
Adobe Systems' consumer products division. "By leveraging the new Apple Image
Capture Platform, developers will be able create compelling new applications,
like Adobe PhotoDeluxe, that take advantage of next-generation digital
cameras, exciting easy-to-use tools in the hands of end users. This could
signal a tremendous breakthrough for customers," said Kristy Holch, president
of MegaTrends Research. "It's akin to the 1985 introduction of the laser
printer equipped with PostScript. The printer provided the environment for
desktop publishing when combined with other items such as fonts and
application software. The Image Capture Platform will allow developers to
write applications directly to the camera to create compelling solutions that
will let consumers get more out of capturing images."
Some of these possible solutions include time lapse photography where a
computer is not required. For example, a software script running in the camera
will capture a series of images over time. The resulting images are grouped
and packaged as a QuickTime movie for immediate viewing on a computer.
Multiple images could also be "stitched" together to create a QuickTime VR
panoramic movie for a virtual reality tour, reducing the expertise currently
required to create such a movie. With the communications facilities enabled by
QuickTime IC, another possible solution is enabled wherein a captured image is
sent from the camera across the Internet directly to a printer for printing.
Apple has applied for or is in the process of applying for more than 30
patents directed to the Apple Image Capture Platform. A developer release of
the API, including sample code is expected by June and a Software Developers
Kit (SDK) is expected later this summer.
Apple Computer, Inc., a recognized innovator in the information industry and
leader in multimedia technologies, creates powerful solutions based on
easy-to-use personal computers, servers, peripherals, software, personal

Meka, to nije zdravo. A nisu ga kupovali od domaće firme.
> Ko su sada authorised dealers u YU?
Koliko sam ukapirao, to su samo dve firme: MiMac i Application. Kod ovih prvih
se, navodno, pet firmi prijavilo da budu njihov diler, tako da se može reći da
imamo dva ovlašćena distributera i nekoliko dilera. Stvari lagano počinju da
se kreću nabolje... Jedna od tih pet firmi je, navodno, InTime, a za ostale ne
znam. Ostaje da pratimo oglase u časopisima i vidimo koje su to firem jer
osećam da će sve one da stave reč authorized u oglas. B)

Pantone kolor karta košta u Pešti od 130-200 DEM, zavisno od prodavnice. Kod
nas se može kupiti i kolor karta u izdanju štamparije BMG, ali ne znam kakvog
je kvaliteta.
Art Centar na Košutnjaku (Hranislav) je štampao kolor kartu u vidu postera i
deli je besplatno mušterijama koje kod njega osvetljavaju filmove za štampu.
Solidnog je kvaliteta jer je štampana u Americi, ali je prilično skromnog
obima (u pitanju je ipak poster).
Ja bih preporučio kupovinu Pantone Process Color karte negde u inostranstvu.

This tidbit is from:
<bforte@adelaide.on.net> (Brian Forte)
As an EvangeList Submission this is more an irony than anything else.
Still it tickled my fancy...
The May 1996 number of Australian PC World (still on the stands here in
Oz) has a cover proclaiming 'Windows 95 at Warp Speed' (nothing to do
with OS/2, BTW). The words 'Warp Speed' are streaming off a PC flying
through space above a blue, cloud-covered planet with Win 95 screens for
continents.
A closer look at the 'PC' is revealing, however. Although all the
trademarks and logos have been removed, the monitor is an Apple 17"
MultiScan display and the CPU case is an AT-style Power 80 or Power 100.
Perhaps we could interpret this as meaning the Mac OS is, in effect, what
Windows 95 wants to be? :-)
Regards,
Brian Forte.

Haven't done anything with continuous-roll paper; my guess is you'd have
a tough time getting something that wouldn't die when Joe Bozo pulled
inappropriately on the paper. I've used laserprinters with great success;
Lexmark's 4039 series (which they probably don't make anymore) has access
to everything on the front (paper trays, toner, control panel, face-up
output) so you don't have to turn the printer around in the kiosk to get
at things. Daniel T. Griscom griscom@suitable.com

I'm on the Macromedia Director mailing list, and there have been a number

Cinnabar Macintosh in Livingston Montana makes Mac based kiosks. The
Bozeman, MT chamber of commerce uses them.

You asked about special printers for info kiosks that can be attached to
a <Macintosh. I think such printers are rather scarce and therefore
expensive. But there's a way to connect almost any PC-compatible printer
to the mac: If it has a serial port you should consider using 'Chucks
Printer Driver', which is able to print on EPSON and HP compatible
printers. I think almost any printer in the world (even specialized ones
that you need) can be used with this driver and a simple serial adapter
cable. So this solution is the cheapest yet most functional one that you
can get. Chuck's printer driver has the current version 1.3.0 (as far as
i know) and is 20 $ shareware. Sorry, can't give you an URL for this.

42nd Street! In fact Citibank, unlike Chemical and Chase, offered Mac
banking software right from the beginning of their promotion--Macs users
are not second class citizens to Citibank. That's why I gave them my
business; If you do computerized banking, you should check them out.

Almost Live, a comedy show which airs on Seattle's NBC Station KING 5,
had a joke about Windows '95 on their season opener last year (which
re-ran this week).
They had two people pretending to be Microsoft Help Line operators. They
answer a bunch of questions and then one of them finally bursts out with,
"Why didn't you get a Macintosh, that's what I did?"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Largest Macintosh Internet Archive Announces World Wide Web Site
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. -- May 14, 1996 To better provide Macintosh users
worldwide information and software, the moderators who maintain the
Info-Mac Internet Archive along with Pacific HiTech, Inc. today announced
a World Wide Web site dedicated to the archive.
The Info-Mac Archive is the largest collection of Macintosh shareware and
freeware (over 2.0 gigabytes) serving the Macintosh community for over
ten years. Info-Mac is run solely on a volunteer effort working daily to
gather and organize hundreds of programs a month, made available on
'mirrors' (or copies) of the site worldwide.
The new World Wide Web site will provide information to new users of the
site and the Internet on to how to access the software, posting
guidelines, detailed instructions for uploading software to the site,
mirror locations, information about the Info-Mac Digest (a semi-daily
periodical that provides a forum for Macintosh users of all levels and
announcements of new additions to the site), and much more. Links are
also provided to highlight search engines dedicated to Info-Mac that
allow searches for specific files or information from the Info-Mac
Digest. This site is desgined to be a central source for a wide variety
Macintosh resources.
The site was created with the help of Pacific HiTech and will be located
there. Pacific HiTech is a longtime supporter of Info-Mac and is the
exclusive distributor of CD-ROMs of the archive, producing Info-Mac
titles since 1992.
The Info-Mac Archive is moving forward in its previously announced
relocation from its current home at Stanford to MIT on its new machine
donated by America OnLine. Contributors will have already noticed files
can submitted to this new machine at info-mac.org. Once there, Info-Mac
will grow significantly due to increased capacity. "There is no question
that more software is being developed for the Macintosh and made freely
available than ever before, with submissions to the site being made at an
increasing rate," said the archivist of the site. "We have nearly ten
thousand programs and that number is only limited by space, which will
change soon."
The site is located at <http://www.pht.com/info-mac/>. It will be kept up
to date, continuing to provide that latest information and the most and
newest software available. The Info-Mac moderators are currently Liam
Breck, Gordon Watts, Adam Engst, and Demitri Muna.
Neither MIT nor Stanford University is affiliated with the Info-Mac
Network or Pacific HiTech in any way.

LENEXA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 1996--Three key players in the
wireless LAN industry -- Digital Ocean Incorporated, Digital Equipment
Corporation and Lucent Technologies -- have joined forces to provide the
first wireless LAN solution that embraces both Apple and PC platforms.
With this solution, organizations with mixed platform environments can
now use a single wireless access point to support both Intel-based and
Macintosh-based wireless devices.
The solution revolves around the new ability of two Digital Ocean station
products for the Apple platform to interoperate with Digital's RoamAbout
and Lucent's WaveLAN wireless system for the PC environment. The Digital
Ocean remote products are the Manta series
($799) providing AAUI or 10BaseT connection to any Macintosh, and the
Grouper series ($749), supporting LocalTalk connections for any legacy
Macintosh or Newton MessagePad. Both products, initially offered in 915
MHz, provide wireless Ethernet connectivity to wired infrastructures
through RoamAbout and WavePOINT Access Points. This makes it possible for
Macintosh machines using either LocalTalk or EtherTalk to join PC-based
machines in a wireless LAN that reaches across the enterprise.
"This set of products serve an important need to organizations such as
Carnegie Mellon University, which has a large installed base of Macintosh
PowerBooks and is in the process of setting up a very large wireless
infrastructure on its campus," said Alex Hills, Vice Provost & Chief
Information Officer at Carnegie Mellon University.
"WaveLAN and RoamAbout have the vast share of the wireless LAN market in
the PC world, and this solution enables shops that already have or wish
to install Lucent's or Digital's products to bring their Macintosh users
on board," said Digital Ocean President Jeff Alholm. "It represents the
first time that wireless LANs can be implemented across both platforms."
Digital Equipment's RoamAbout Access Point offers key bridging features
such as protocol-independent bridging, address and protocol filtering and
downline load capabilities. It is part of a fully manageable and scalable
product set that can be used as either a standalone device or installed
in Digital's MultiStack System, DEChub 900 MultiSwitch or DEChub 90.
A complementary RoamAbout wireless LAN adapter line includes both PC
Cards and ISA Adapters that use both the 915 MHZ and 2.4 GHz frequency
bands and supports both frequency hopping and direct sequence wireless
technologies. This gives customers the freedom to choose the wireless
technology that best suits their mobility and application needs.
Available in both 915 MHZ and 2.4 GHz versions, the WaveLAN product line
includes the WaveLAN/PCMCIA card for notebook and portable computers,
WaveLAN/AT card for desktop computers, WavePOINT access point, WaveAROUND
roaming software, WaveMONITOR site installation/survey program and
WaveMODEM wireless modem for OEM products.
One of the key components of the WaveLAN product family, WavePOINT is a
small, compact unit that enables Wave LAN and Digital Ocean stations to
access devices on wired networks. WavePOINT can be easily installed on a
desktop, ceiling, wall or in a wiring closet with the antenna outside.
Features include integrated roaming, SNMP management, optional security,
multicast delay, site survey tools and network administrator utility
software with radio path diagnostics.
Digital Ocean's Manta and Grouper remote stations are part of a complete
product line that provides wireless support for Macintosh and Newton
MessagePad environments through the company's Starfish II Ethernet Access
Point. Starfish II offers an optional external antenna that can boost
range to up to three miles. Manta and Grouper can be configured to
interoperate with Lucent's WavePOINT and Digital's RoamAbout access
points.
Digital Ocean's wireless LAN family includes a fully-supported
MicroCellular roaming function, radio diagnostic function, radio
diagnostic and site survey software, network administrator's software and
optional security features. Digital Ocean also produces a family of
ruggedized hand-held computers, based on the Newton platform, that offers
a variety of communication options for in-building and remote
applications.
For more information, call Angela Champness at Lucent Technologies at
011/31-3060-97-622, Donna Wozrucki at Digital Equipment Corporation at

Maxum Development Ships the MaxumPack - All the Essential Tools to make a
Web server Dynamic, Interactive, Reliable, Secure and Fast
Comdex, Chicago, IL-- June 3, 1996 -- Maxum Development Corp., a leading
developer of commercial World Wide Web server tools for business and
education, today announced the MaxumPack(tm) 1.0, the powerful
applications set that makes your Macintosh(tm) Web site dynamic,
interactive, reliable, secure and fast.
"We strive at Maxum to create all the essential tools needed for a robust
Macintosh-based Web site," said John O'Fallon, President of Maxum
Development, "the MaxumPack is the best way to put all those cool tools
into the hands of our customers."
Maxum was the first developer of commercial interface tools for
Macintosh-based WWW servers. Included in the bundle are current versions
of all Maxum's shipping products: NetCloak(tm), NetForms(tm),
PageSentry(tm), WebLock(tm) and RushHour(tm).
"Maxum was the first out of the gate with commercial quality WebSTAR
add-on tools, and is still setting the standard." says David Thompson,
Director of Marketing, StarNine Technologies.
NetCloak 2.0 extends the capabilities of a Macintosh-based Web server by
adding a total of 45 commands for use in World Wide Web pages. It
executes these commands "on-the-fly" as the Web pages are sent to the
client. With it Web authors can customize their pages by: client domain,
time, date, browser, referrer, username, password, access count, at
random or by client-entered information. NetCloak dynamically serves
graphics, text, hyperlinks and other HTML elements and includes advanced
features like macros and high-performance caching.
In their book Planning & Managing Web Sites on the Macintosh, Chuck
Shotton and Jon Wiederspan award NetCloak "..the single most useful CGI
application available for any HTTP server."
NetForms is the Web server "back-end" that allows Webmasters to easily
process information entered by visitors to create completely interactive
Web sites. NetForms can take user submitted information and create a new
HTML page, send an e-mail message, insert text into an existing page, and
store the data for later processing by virtually any application
(including databases, spreadsheets, text-processors, etc.). The Webmaster
is in control of the submitted information; how the page is formatted,
defining how they look, how the menus are kept, and even what words or
phrases will be automatically linked.
PageSentry 1.1, will monitor any page, on any server, anywhere on the
Internet. PageSentry allows the Webmaster to create "sentries" that
perform complete HTTP (Web protocol) file transfers. The files are
checked for valid content and, in case of failure, the Webmaster is
notified. By performing real HTTP transfers, PageSentry verifies that
every aspect of the Web server is functioning, including the operating
system, the TCP/IP stack, the Web server itself, and even CGI
applications.
Maxum's WebLock is a performance and security utility incorporating RAM
based file caching and security based on the Mac(tm) OS built-in File
Sharing and Users and Groups database. Unlike security schemes based on
Realms, which require complex naming conventions and can have undesirable
side effects, WebLock allows you to simply click on the file folder you
want protected.
Maxum's RushHour is a software-based Web server graphics accelerator for
the Macintosh which eliminates performance bottlenecks that are typically
responsible for significant slow downs of Web server. RushHour runs in
conjunction with your existing Web server software and allows you to
dramatically improve overall throughput at your site even on extremely
busy sites that serve large files. With graphics comprising the majority
of most Web server traffic, RushHour is capable of producing a "three to
ten fold" improvement in performance.
The MaxumPack carries a list price of $695.00 (SRP $1025) with a special
introductory price of $ 595.00 through July 31st 1996. The MaxumPack will
be available on May 31st from Maxum Development's Web site at:
<http://www.maxum.com/>, by phone at (708)830-1113 or through any
registered Maxum Reseller.
Current owners of Maxum products may upgrade to the MaxumPack and receive
discounts for past purchases of:
Purchases ... Before Dec 31, 1995.. After Jan 1, 1996
NetCloak $100.00 $150.00
NetForms $100.00 $150.00
PageSentry N/A $100.00
RushHour N/A $250.00
Discounts apply to a maximum of $400 off the introductory price. In
addition, purchasers of the MaxumPack will receive one free year of
upgrades on all products purchased.
Founded in 1991, Maxum Development is a leading developer of commercial
World Wide Web server tools for business and education. Maxum products,
NetCloak and NetForms, were the first commercial interface tools for
Macintosh-based WWW servers and are now industry standards. All Maxum
products are designed to enhance the function and performance of Web
sites by making them dynamic, interactive, secure and fast.

ADAPTEC THROWS FULL SUPPORT BEHIND
WINSOCK 2 AND MAC OS WITH XTI EXTENSIONS
Standards will speed development of native ATM applications
MILPITAS, Calif.--May 20, 1996--Adaptec has announced its endorsement of
WinSock 2 and Mac OS with XTI extensions, software standards that allow
developers to create native ATM applications capable of exploiting ATMs
technological advantages. By providing software support for native ATM in
both PC- and Macintosh-based systems, Adaptec seeks to encourage the
development of ATM applications now. WinSock 2 and Mac OS with XTI
extensions complement Adaptecs software development efforts for PCI,
UNIX, and LAN Emulation. Native ATM will enable incredible networked
multimedia applications, said Gary Law, vice president of marketing for
Adaptecs INTO business unit. Our support for WinSock 2 and Mac OS with
XTI extensions will make it easier for developers to write those ATM
applications. Networked customers are already demanding the power and
quality of service that only ATM can provide. We want developers to be
well prepared to meet that demand. Apple is very pleased and excited to
have Adaptecs ATM cards available on the Macintosh. ATM protocols and
native applications are of great interest to our publishing and
multimedia customers, said David Singer, manager of communications
software of Apples Communications Products and Technologies Group. These
industries, and other customers that typically transfer very large
amounts of data, have recognized the benefits that ATM provides.
Macintosh software developers now have a standard ATM layer from Apple
that gives access through normal protocols and provides an API with which
to create applications that take advantage of the bandwidth and unique
characteristics of ATM.
ADAPTEC ENDORSES WINSOCK 2 AND MAC OS WITH XTI/2-2-2-2-2

Katz Media AS Signs Worldwide Licensing Agreement of Apple's Pippin
Technology to make the world's best multimedia technology available to
"the rest of us."
New-Pippin based devices to be launched in Europe during the fall of 1996.
CANNES, France--June 5, 1996--Apple Computer, today announced that Katz
Media had signed a worldwide licensing agreement to ship products for the
European market later this year, based on Apple's Pippin technology. This
technology establishes an entirely new category of products called
information appliances which allow easy, affordable access to any kind of
digital information through a standard television set.
In the fall of 1996, Katz Media intends to ship a CD-based console along
with a broad range of exciting localized titles in selected European
markets.
Pippin products are derived from Apple's Power Macintosh hardware and
software, and deliver the world's best multimedia technology - whether
online or CD-ROM based - without the complexity or the cost of a typical
multimedia personal computer. Equally important, because Pippin products
are designed to work in a standard living room environment, everyone in
the family can access and enjoy the best that cyberspace has to offer.
"Today, only about 7% of the population in the world has a computer or
has access to one. With the Pippin technology, we want to bring the world
of communication and information technology to the fingertips of "the
rest of us," the non technical users who think that computers are still
too expensive and complex," said Satjiv Chahil, Apple's senior vice
president of Corporate Marketing.
"We are creating new opportunities for millions of TV set-owners,
bringing multimedia rich information and the information superhighway
right into their living rooms. All of this, with easy to use multimedia
and internet capabilities never before so readily available. Katz Media
is an ideal partner to bring new exciting Pippin based products and titles to
the European market," he continued.
The Pippin platform has been designed to bring Apple's unparalleled
ease-of-use to a wide range of customers seeking information solutions
across many different markets. Based on the robust PowerPC RISC
microprocessor, the Pippin platform benefits from a market supported by
the rich Macintosh development environment, a wide variety of multimedia
titles that deliver easy-to-operate family entertainment and education at
a lower price than today's existing products," Chahil said.
"We have selected the Pippin platform because it takes advantage of the
most exciting qualities of simplicity and ease of use of the Macintosh
and of the Internet, in a low-cost, reliable architecture. This will
enable us to bring a catalog of approximately 100 CD-ROM titles at the
time of the launch of our Pippin-based product. With our Pippin products,
users will be able to go from zero to the Internet in less than five
minutes, with products that are easier to use than an audio CD player,"
said Thomas Virden, Vice President of Katz Media AS.
"There is a huge worldwide market for Pippin-based devices because of
their ease of use and connectivity to TV sets. We will promote our Pippin
based products as entertainment and productivity appliances for consumers
with a $25 million investment," he concluded.
Katz Media intends to bundle its Pippin device with a keyboard, a modem
and a hand-held controller. Additional peripherals such as Zip drives,
floppy drives, hard disks and other devices will be available. Katz Media
will also develop relationships with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to
deliver Internet access right out of the box. Later on, Katz is also
planning to provide infra-red keyboards rather than cord connected ones
and offer versions of its Pippin based product as Intranet appliances for
companies who need real time information systems.
Katz Media plans to introduce titles in the following categories: a)
games, entertainment and edutainment b) enhanced music c) education home
advice d) encyclopedia and other reference works e) personal productivity
f) home banking g) home shopping.
Katz is actively contacting and recruiting developers and publishers to
port titles to the Pippin platform.

Apple Announces Apple Network Administrator Toolkit
Powerful, Complete, and Easy-To-Use Suite of Tools Simplifies Network
Management in Classroom Labs; Aids Teacher/Student Collaboration
CUPERTINO, Calif.--June 6, 1996--Apple Computer, Inc. today announced the
Apple Network Administrator Toolkit, a comprehensive suite of software
applications for managing networked Macintosh computers. The product
helps network administrators be more productive and offers educators a
powerful tool for managing collaborative learning in classroom computer
labs.
Expected to ship in the U.S. later this month, the Apple Network
Administrator Toolkit consists of three applications - At Ease for
Workgroups 4.0, Apple Network Assistant and Apple User and Group Manager
- that together provide a powerful, complete and easy-to-use solution.
With the Toolkit, a school network administrator can now set security
access privileges for files and applications, control computing and print
resources, distribute applications, and manage groups and user lists all
from a central workstation. Educators will also find the Toolkit's
interactive screen sharing and remote software capabilities valuable for
collaborating with students and managing student Internet usage.
"For nearly two decades, Apple has provided solutions designed
specifically for schools," said John Hanay, senior product manager at
Apple. "The Apple Network Administrator Toolkit continues that tradition
by combining a powerful suite of tools that educators have been asking
for with the ease-of-use students and teachers have come to expect from
Apple."
Doug Snow, education technology facilitator for Floodbrook Union School
in Londonderry, VT, has used the Toolkit on the school's network of more
than 100 Macintosh computers. "The only way to deliver technology access
is to make it so easy and so invisible that teachers and students don't
even have to think about it," said Snow. "The Apple Network Administrator
Toolkit enables me to effectively - and invisibly - provide a seamless
and smooth gateway to using technology as part of the learning process.
This product will be on the wish list of anyone who manages a network,
whether it's for a school, district or university campus."
At Ease for Workgroups 4.0
At Ease for Workgroups 4.0, a new version of the popular Apple security
and access management software, has been enhanced with significant new
features that make it easier than ever to control access to computers and
documents, and remotely manage all operations. A new central server-based
file storage architecture enhances the student computing experience by
allowing students to use different computers each day, yet always gain
access to their files, applications and Internet preferences. New printer
page limits and disk space quotas have been added so administrators can
more effectively manage printing resources and costs. And version 4.0 is
PowerPC native, enabling faster processing and increased functionality.
With At Ease for Workgroups, the network administrator can control access
to applications and workgroup resources, control which CDs students have
access to, and prevent unauthorized users from deleting files or copying
data or software from the network. The software also offers three
different interfaces tailored for the experience level of the user.
Apple Network Assistant
The Apple Network Assistant is designed for managing distributed software
and providing remote assistance. Its remote software distribution and
deletion capabilities make it simple to keep all the Macintosh computers
on a network up-to-date. From a single location, a new or updated
application can be easily added to an individual Macintosh system, or
broadcast to an entire computer lab.
Using the remote system status report function, an administrator can
gather details about RAM, available disk space, installed applications,
system software and other information about individual workstations or
servers, then make necessary changes. For example, if an inventory report
reveals that a workstation is running out of disk space, the
administrator can inventory that machine's hard drive and remotely delete
duplicate or obsolete files and applications. The Apple Network Assistant
also supports remote shutdown and restart of computers.
Collaborative computing functions make the Apple Network Assistant ideal
for use in the classroom or computer lab. A teacher can observe a remote
user's screen, control the screen to demonstrate an action, view several
screens at once, or share someone's screen with a group to create a
collaborative computing experience.
Additional features designed for classroom usage include a request
function that enables users to signal the teacher for real-time help and
telephony support. All the sharing functions are controlled from the
teacher's Macintosh so the teacher always manages the level of
collaboration in the classroom. A screen locking function also helps
teachers manage computer use--it is ideal for starting and stopping tests
or simply reverting student attention from the computer to the teacher.
Apple User and Group Manager
The Apple User and Group Manager simplifies import and export of users
and group lists between AppleShare, At Ease for Workgroups 4.0 and First
Class services, maintaining user names, groups and passwords across
servers. Through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, administrators can
easily create new groups, change group members, compare groups, enable
new users and perform other routine tasks.
System Requirements, Pricing and Availability
The Apple Network Administrator Toolkit requires a server system with
AppleShare file server software version 3.0 or later. The client systems
require any Mac OS-based computer (except Macintosh Plus), Mac OS version
7.1 or later, at least 4 MB of RAM and an AppleTalk network connection
(Ethernet required for screen sharing). The administration system shares
the client system requirements, except it requires 8 MB of RAM, a CD-ROM
drive and a 640 by 480 pixel display (for viewing multiple screens).
The three applications in the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit work
together seamlessly and share one interface design. They can be installed
separately but complement each other to provide a complete solution.
The U.S. estimated retail price of the Apple Network Administrator
Toolkit is $599 for a 10-pack; U.S. upgrade pricing for previous At Ease
users is $499.The U.S. estimated education price is $349 for a 10-pack;
U.S. upgrade pricing for previous education At Ease users is $149. The
Toolkit is scheduled to ship in the U.S. in June and will be available
from Claris Corporation, a subsidiary of Apple, and Claris resellers in
the U.S. For more information about the Apple Network Administrator
Toolkit, call 1-800-293-6617 in the U.S. or visit the Claris home page on

This tidbit is from:
<egatz@slingshot.com> (Ron Egatz)
Black Sparrow Press of Santa Rosa, California has published a new
collection of poems and stories by the great alcoholic poet laureate/icon
of Los Angles, Charles Bukowski. It's titled "Betting on the Muse," and
features several references to Macintosh computers, which Bukowski wrote
on in the final years of his life. He died in 1994 at seventy-three, and,
among other accomplishments, was the author of the screenplay "Barfly",
which was eventually directed by Barbet Schroeder, starring Mickey Rourke
and Faye Dunaway.
"Betting on the Muse" contains the poem "look back, look up", which
contains a list of things the author remembers from his early life,
including Ty Cobb and the WPA. The poem reads, in part:
"listing these things
on my
Macintosh
computer
with a 50-50 shot
of seeing the
21st
century..."
Among Mac references in other poems, the poem "the trash can" is, in
part, an ode to the Macintosh Trashcan. We're sorry you didn't make it to
next century, Buk. There is always need for another writer who knows
which OS is the most beautiful.

Well, mene trenutno najviše interesuju trenutno aktuelne konfiguracije
pošto mi je firma u fazi nabavke, naravno sa cenama jer u zadnjem (ako se
ne varam) dealbits.017 pročitah neke cene za memorije (approx $160 za 16M)
a u nekim ponudama koje smo dobili ovde to ide i do $980! za istu memoriju.
Takođe su i interesantne i cene originalonog softvera, pretežno za DTP,
naravno isto tako i textovi o njima.
Da, pročitah u nekim Računarima txt o umrežavanju Mac-a i PC-ja. Pa me
interesuje kako to stvarno radi u praksi, na pr. na konfiguraciji gde bi
bili jedan Mac (za sada) i dva PC-ja od kojih je jedan postavljen kao RIP
za osvetljivač. Kako je najbolje povezati ih tako da se ravnopravno mogu
koristiti fajlovi i sa PC-ja i Mac-a (naročito me interesuje kako ide sa
dugim imenima pod Win95 ili NT).

Oduvek me je interesovalo šta u stvari od softvera postoji za
Mac? Pitanje će ti se možda učiniti bez veze, ali mislim da bi jako
zgodno bilo da se u R. pojavi neki kratak tekst o tome. Na primer,
navedeš koji programi postoje za CAD, koja im je cena i kakav kvalitet
u odnosu na slične stvari za PC. Onda to isto napišeš i za obradu
teksta, DTP, office pakete i dr.
Ne mora to biti ništa veliko, ali da pokriješ sve (ili bar
većinu) oblasti za koje ljudi koriste PC i ponudiš im alternativu u
vidu Maca. Ja verovatno nikad neću kupiti meka :( , ali bih veoma voleo
da imam neku precizniju predstavu o njegovim mogućnostima u odnosu na
PC. Ubeđen sam da je slična situacija i sa velikim brojem čitalaca R.
mac.1126haevorn,
-> #1124, nesh// interesuje kako to stvarno radi u praksi, na pr. na konfiguraciji
recimo u kombinaciji MAC - PC povezani na Novell server radi
fantasticno, sa sve stampanjem na stampace u mrezi preko
Paralenog porta sa Mac-a, itd. Cak, posto su nam dva MAC-a
i 10-tak PC-a u mrezi, kopiranje fajlova na Novell je brze
nego kopiranje AppleTalkom na drugog MAC-a. Otprilike ti ist
vreme treba da iskopiras fajl sa MAC-a na Novella, pa sa
Novella na drugog MAC-a, kao i da direktno kopiras sa MAC-a na
MAC-a...

> Well, mene trenutno najviše interesuju trenutno aktuelne konfiguracije
> pošto mi je firma u fazi nabavke
Takvih tekstova je bilo dva puta: moj uvodni tekst kada sam dobio
rubriku u časopisu je upravo bio upoznavanje publike sa tada aktuelnim
modelima (tada su bili aktuelni 6100/66, 7100/80, 8100/100 i 8100/110)
i tekst u R112 kada su se pojavili 7200, 7500 i 8500. Kao što vidiš,
gledam da takav tekst ima svoje opravdanje u smislu situacije na
tržištu. Elem, trenutno aktuelne konfiguracije, po mom mišljenju, ne
opravdavaju pisanje još jednog takvog članka jer su, u suštini, samo
brže varijante onih koje sam opisao u R112. Doduše, postoji novi model
7600 koji bi trebalo da iz ponude potpuno izbaci 7200, ali on sam nije
dovoljan da se opet u tako kratkom vremenu pisalo opet o mašinama.
Takođe, i vremenski se već priblažavamo roku kada bi Apple trebalo
nešto značajnije da promeni, pa će to biti odlična prilika za još jedan
članak na temu šta je trenutno aktuelno. Vidim da pratiš DealBITS, a
preporučujem ti da pratiš i TidBITS, u njemu s uvek objavi pojava novih
mašina, sve sa opisom i USA cenom. Da zaključim, teksta na ovu temu će
sigurno biti, ali još ne za ovaj i sledeći broj. U avgustu je MacWorld
Expo, a tamo će sigurno biti noviteta.
> Takođe su i interesantne i cene originalonog softvera, pretežno za DTP,
> naravno isto tako i textovi o njima.
Što se cena tiče, o njima je uvek nezahvalno pisati: od pisanja teksta do
njegovog objavljivanja mogu se promeniti. Prikaza softvera ima, ali je
moja oblast interesovanja daleko od DTP-a i kompjuterske grafike, ma
koliko to čudno zvučalo (imam Mac-a, a ne bavim se time), tako da bi
tekstove o njima ipak prepustio onima koji poznaju tu oblast.
> Kako je najbolje povezati ih tako da se ravnopravno mogu
> koristiti fajlovi i sa PC-ja i Mac-a (naročito me interesuje kako ide sa

Iz teksta si moga da pročitaš da postoji samo jedna varijanta u kojoj je
moguća dvosmerna komunikacija, a to je Personal MacLAN. Sve ostale
varijante podrazumevaju da imaš server i da razmena ide preko njega. Što
se dugih imena tiče, NT to radi lepo, dok za Win95 ne znam (sa Personal
MacLAN-om nije radilo, jedino on radi na Win95).

Bilo je objavljeno, to je moj drugi tekst u Računarima (R109 iz juna
1995., tekst pod nazivom "Moć jabuke") u kojem sam napisao neku vrstu
objašnjenja otkud Mac u Računarima. Jedno poglavlje je upravo bilo na
temu šta od softvera postoji za Macintosh. Takođe, ne bih se detaljnije
upuštao u problematiku tipa kakav je kvalitet određenih programa, mogu
samo da pišem o njihovoj popularnosti među Mac korisnicima, jer ne
poznajem sve što ima veze sa Mac-om. Konkretno, kada je o CAD-u reč,
mogao sam do skoro samo da nabrojim par programa tog tipa za MAc-a i
ništa više. Možda je rešenje da se iz više tekstova pokriva oblast po
oblast i da tekstove onda radim u saradnji sa nekim stručnjakom iz te
oblasti. Vredi razmisliti, štaviše već mi se mota po glavi da nešto
slično uskoro napravim za baze podataka.

InkWell Software Announces New PowerMac RIP for Lasergraphics Film
Recorders
For information contact:
Travis Brown, Digital Orchard, Inc. (404) 325-5448
mail to: <info@inksoft.com>
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
May, 1996, ATLANTA, GA: InkWell Software, Inc. has released FilmMagic
Pro, a Macintosh and Power Macintosh native imaging solution for all
Lasergraphics Film Recorders. FilmMagic Pro is a Queue-based software
product that images PostScript, EPS, PICT, and Scrapbook file formats to
Digital Film Recorders at work station speeds. FilmMagic Pro brings
unsurpassed power to the Lasergraphics Film Recorder line.
PowerMac Native
FilmMagic Pro is accelerated for Power Macintosh and takes full advantage
of the PowerPC architecture to deliver blistering performance. FilmMagic
Pro's high performance design makes it one of the best performing slide
imaging solutions on the market as Harold Light from Light, Inc explains,
"FilmMagic has proven to be much faster than any other Mac or DOS/Windows
RIP I have used. As much as 10 times faster on complex files."
Superior technology
FilmMagic Pro has been designed to take the guess work out of imaging
PostScript files. The software can automatically determine the best
centering, scaling, and orientation of all files. Prior to FilmMagic Pro,
users were required to know how each PostScript file was formatted in
order to make appropriate adjustments in their imaging software. But now
with FilmMagic Pro's user friendly interface they can just add the files
to the imaging queue, press the start button and walk away.
A Real WYSIWYG Preview
An informative WYSIWYG Preview feature allows files to be inspected
before they are imaged to film. When FilmMagic Pro generates a preview,
the file is actually RIP'd by either the PostScript or QuickDraw
interpreter. This ensures that the preview will show exactly what will
image onto film when the file is processed for final output.
Pricing and versions
There are two versions of FilmMagic Pro for Lasergraphics that meet users
needs. Each version is packaged by Film Recorder resolution and is priced
accordingly: $895.00 for 4,000 line resolution and $1495.00 for 8,000
lines. Versions are also available for AGFA & MGI film recorders.
Demos on Web Page
InkWell is providing free demo's of FilmMagic Pro on their web page,
<http://www.inksoft.com/~inkwell>. FilmMagic Pro is available with a
30-day money back guarantee.
InkWell Software can be contacted through Digital Orchard, Inc., who
handles sales and support for FilmMagic Pro. Digital Orchard's phone

Common Misconceptions About The Mac
Editorial by Scott Kelby
You know who seems to know the least about Macintosh computers? PC
Experts. I'd always figured that these PC experts were pretty plugged-in
to the computer market in general, but it seems like everything they know
about a Mac they picked up on the street six or seven years ago.
They've updated their modems, CPUs, RAM, and even their operating system,
but they've neglected to update their knowledge about the one computer to
which they owe their plug-and-play, mouse-driven, CD-ROM-using,
window-clicking world-the Macintosh. So in an attempt to bring these PC
experts into the 90s, I've compiled a list of the most common Apple and
Macintosh misconceptions, complete with a reality check for each. Fax it
to your PC acquaintances; it really spoils their day when they read good
news about Apple.
1. THERE'S NO SOFTWARE FOR MACS There are thousands upon thousands of
software titles for the Mac, but it really doesn't matter, since most
people are going to use the same six or seven programs anyway. In fact,
the top-selling titles on the PC platform are also the top-selling titles
on the Mac: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office, Adobe PageMaker, Microsoft
Excel, Adobe Photoshop, Quicken, Netscape Navigator, etc. Even though the
Macintosh Software Directory lists over 12,000 Macintosh software titles,
chances are you're going to use only a handful of the most popular ones
anyway. As the saying goes, "With the PC you've got 50,000 pieces of
software you'll never use, and with the Mac there's 12,000 pieces you'll
never use."
The other side of this misconception comes from the fact that retail
stores like Egghead Software, Babbage's, Software Etc., etc. carry hardly
any Mac software. That's because the vast majority of all Mac software is
sold by mail order. It's always been that way, it'll probably always be
that way. Incidentally, there are over 500 software applications that are
available only for the Mac and not available on the PC at all. Is that
reason to celebrate? No. The reality is: you're probably not going to use
any of those 500 either.
2. MACS AREN'T PC COMPATIBLE The truth is, Macs are the most PC
compatible computers on earth. In fact, Mac users can pop an
IBM-formatted disk into their floppy drive, read it, write to it, save
files in PC formats, and even format a floppy disk in IBM format right
from their Mac. This feature is built-in on Macs. Do PCs come with this
same "compatibility?" Hell no! They couldn't mount a Mac disk with a
saddle. What about PC apps? Mac users can run Windows or Windows 95
applications on their Macs using SoftWindowsr software from Insignia
Solutions. You can even buy a Mac with an actual PC-board built right
into the machine, so you can have both a Mac and a full-blown PC together
in one box. The reality is: Macintosh is the only computer than can run
Macintosh, DOS, and Windows applications on the same machine.
3. APPLE IS JUST A NICHE PLAYER IN THE COMPUTER MARKET It's true. Their
tiny little niche has made them only the third largest computer maker in
the world. IBM is just behind Apple as the fourth largest. Funny, I never
really hear IBM referred to as a niche player, even though they sell
fewer computers than Apple. I wonder why that is? Hmmm-only Compaq and
Packard Bell sell more computers than Apple, and then just barely. In
fact, during certain quarters of the year, Apple has outsold both Compaq
and Packard Bell. This niche misconception is perpetuated by the national
media's outwardly biased coverage of Apple. By the way, what kind of
computers do most computer journalists use? Hmmm. Makes you stop and
think. The reality is: Apple is one of the top three computer companies
in the world and has a market share most Fortune 500 companies would kill
for.
4. THE PERSON THAT DESIGNS APPLE ADVERTISING IS A SERIOUS SUBSTANCE
ABUSER This is another widely held misconception, but it is also not
true! I know, I know, you watch some incredibly lame "artsy-fartsy" Apple
ad on TV and think, "The person that designed this ad must be on drugs,"
but I don't think that's the case. I think it's more that they've
completely lost touch with consumers, so they create ads to please
themselves, and hopefully a panel of judges that give out awards for
"artsy-fartsy" ads. These ads are so artsy that it makes tracking their
results almost impossible, so nobody can really be held accountable for
their failure. What they've got working in their favor is the fact that
most people that buy Macs are convinced by other Mac users to take the
plunge. If you find someone that bought a Mac based solely on an Apple TV
ad, look for their VW mini-bus and love beads; they can't be far behind.
The reality is: The person in charge of Apple ads is not on drugs. As far
as I know.
5. MACS ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE For years Macs were a premium item and
considerably more expensive, but not anymore. Mac prices have now come
down to where they are very competitive with most PC prices. But I want
to warn you: when you head down to the computer store to compare price
tags, the PCs may still seem cheaper at first. Until you look under the
hood and realize that Macs come with standard features like a built-in
sound card, a built-in video card, and built-in networking hardware and
software. For many PCs, these features are add-ons which have to be
purchased separately and then installed. The reality is: If price, not
value, is your only consideration when buying a computer, maybe you
should buy a PC. But if you're a bit more discerning, and want a computer
with more standard features, you may have to pay a couple of bucks more.
But at least now, it's just a couple of bucks.
6. MAC USERS ARE ARROGANT We're not arrogant. We're frustrated (and a
little bit spoiled). We've spent our entire Macintosh lives defending our
purchase. We've been faced with all the misconceptions listed here, the
teasing, harassment, and outward media bias against Apple and the Mac for
years, all the while knowing we're using the best computer on earth.
Microsoft knows the Mac Operating System is the best, too! That's why
Windows 95 looks and acts like it does. Believe it or not, I've actually
had arguments with PC experts that try to convince me that Apple copied
Windows 3.1! The reality is: we're tired of trying to make
Microsoft-brainwashed PC users see the light. If that makes us come off
as a bit arrogant, so be it.
7. THE MAC IS ONLY FOR GRAPHICS The Mac isn't only for graphics, it's
just that it's great at graphics, and it's no surprise that it's the
industry standard for professional graphic design. But the Mac rules in
other areas. For example, PC users are often surprised to hear that the
Mac has 50% share of the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology,
scientific, and engineering computer markets. The Mac also dominates the
MIDI and music industry, and is the industry standard for digital video
production. And needless to say, the Mac has the lion's share of the
educational market in America as well. The reality is: a Mac is for
whatever you need it for: accounting, word processing, graphics, music,
engineering, multimedia, or surfing the Internet.
8. APPLES'S GOING OUT OF BUSINESS The national media have been
consistently wrong about Apple's demise and I can't image that people
still put any faith in them. It would be like a sports odds-maker who
consistently picks the wrong team every single time, for nearly 12
straight years. You'd think after a while you might lose a little faith
in his ability to predict the future, but PC users line up to hear the
news. The fact is, Apple may get bought out, or merge with another
company, but their going out of business is pretty unlikely.
Here's an Apple stat most PC users would find surprising. In the Fortune
500 listing of America's largest businesses, Apple took the 114 spot
(ahead of household names like McDonald's and Federal Express). So where
does the Fortune 500 list find Microsoft, the computer software mega
giant? About 105 spots behind Apple down at number 219. Is that
surprising? It shouldn't be, since Microsoft is only a $5-billion
company, and Apple is an $11-billion company. The reality is: It could be
much worse for Apple-they could be Packard Bell.
9. SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS ARE FLEEING THE MAC MARKET Another misconception.
Been around for years, it's just totally wrong. Granted, Apple had done a
totally lame job of working with and supporting developers of Mac
software. They know that; that's why there's Guy Kawasaki and Heidi
Roisen. They're refocusing Apple's attention on developers, and it must
be working, because Apple's most recent Macintosh software developers
conference had a record-breaking attendance.
You now also see more and more PC software developers putting both a Mac
version and a PC version of their software on the same CD-ROM. They're
catching on to the fact that there are 56,000,000 sales possibilities.
The reality is: There's never been more Mac software than there is right
now.
Well that's it. These common misconceptions about Apple and the Mac have
been developed over nearly a 12 year period, so don't expect PC users to
change their long-held beliefs overnight, regardless of what the facts
and figures show. The reality is: nobody needs Apple to succeed more than
the PC user. And luckily for them, it will.

mac.1137chitan,
E ovako: Ja imam PC, a moj drugar MAC-a. Ja imam modem i odgovarajuci softver
za komuniciranje, a drugar ima modem na MAC-u ali nema softver. Da li je
moguce da Ja skinem softver za njega sa Sezama i kako?
Znaci:
Ovde bi bio prisutan jos jedan MAC.
Gradimir.
mac.1138chitan,
MAC-ovci,
ima li iko onaj istorijski program OMNIS - verzija 4,5 ili bilo koju vecu od
moje prastare 3.3 express
Pomozite!
P.S. Ja sam taj kome fali softwer za modem na MAC-u, a imam i nesto za uzvrat
ali pitajte sta?
Chuki.

> Da li sistem 7.5.3 moze da radi na LC-u (LC ima 10mb ram-a.)
Može, tehnički nema prepreka. A ni ne troši mnogo više memorije od 7.1,
naprotiv, brži je i optimizovaniji od 7.1.
mac.1141ljubisha,

>za komuniciranje, a drugar ima modem na MAC-u ali nema softver. Da li je

Skineš sa PC-a, snimiš na HD disketu i gurneš u MAC na kome moraš da
startuješ neki program za čitanje IBM formata (Access PC... i zaboravih
šta još radi :( ).
mac.1142madamov,
-> #1137, chitan
> Da li je moguce da Ja skinem softver za njega sa Sezama i kako?
Moguće je ako su ispunjena dva uslova: da drugar ima neki program pomoću
kojeg može da dekodira MacBinary (StuffIt Lite i StuffIt Expander to
mogu, postoji još par programčića za tu namenu, mogućnost ima i ZipIt).
Naime, skoro svi fajlovi (osim tekstualnih) na Sezamu su ostavljeni u
MacBinary obliku (to je binarno kodiran fajla tako da sačuva sve
informacije o Mac fajlu na mašini koja nije Mac, a to su u ovom slučaju
Sezamov server i tvoj PC). Komunikacioni programi za Mac-a dekodiraju
fajlove u toku download-a tako da Mac korisnik nije ni primetio da je
fajl bio na PC-u, naravno i kodiraju prilikom upload-a ukoliko je reč o
Mac fajlu. Ako tvoj drugar nema takvo programče, trebalo bi da ima bar
neki arhiver koji može da dekodira BinHex format: to je opet kodirani
fajl, ali ovaj put u ASCII oblik, a takođe ga, uz gore navedene
arhivere, može raspakovati i Compact Pro. Dakle, ako ima samo Compact
Pro, a ne ove druge (Compact Pro, na žalost ne dekodira MacBinary), ja
bih onda poslao ZTerm kao BinHex fajl tebi na mail.
To su prvi uslovi, a drugi bez koga cela ova priča pada u vodu je da on
mora da ima način da pročita PC disketu na svom Mac-u. Da bi to mogao,
mora da ima od hardvera HD flopi, a imaju ga svi Mekovi od modela SE/30
do danas, dakle nema ga samo ako ima modele starije od njega (Plus, II,
IIx, SE). Od softvera takođe mora da ima neku ekstenziju s kojom će se
PC disketa u Meku ponašati kao Mekova ili da ima AppleFile Exchange
(stari softver za prebacivanje fajlova sa PC disketa, ne proizvodi se
više). Takva ekstenzija, pod imenom PC Exchange, je sastavni deo
System-a 7.5.
Elem, ako su ispunjena oba uslova postupak je sledeći: ti normalno
skineš fajl sa Sezama, snimiš ga na disketu i ubaciš je u Meka. Ako ima
instaliran PC Exchange, Mac će disketu mountovati, tj. prikazati je na
desktopu. Sa nje iskopirajte fajl na Mekov hard disk i izbacite
disketu. Onda uđete u neki od programa za dekodiranje i dekodirate fajl
posle čega na disku dobijate Mekov fajl (najčešće će to biti arhiva
upravo nekog od navedenih programa tako da odmah možete da je otvorite
i raspakujete).
Ako nešto od uslova nije ispunjeno, jednostavnije je da dođete s jednom
ili dve Mac diskete kod mene u firmu da vam ja snimim sve što treba.
mac.1143madamov,
-> #1138, chitan
> ima li iko onaj istorijski program OMNIS - verzija 4,5
Jel' to onaj softver za baze podataka? Koliko se sećam, poslednje što sam
čuo da je došao do verzije 7 i da je multiplatformski, tj. ima ga i za
Windows. Na žalost, ne da ga nemam, nego ga nikada nisam ni video... (moj
favorit za baze je 4th Dimension).
> P.S. Ja sam taj kome fali softwer za modem na MAC-u, a imam i nesto za
> uzvrat ali pitajte sta?
Ako je reč o komercijalnom softveru nemoj da ga ostavljaš jer tako nešto
nije dozvoljeno na Sezamu, a ako ga ostaviš biću primoran da ga obrišem.
Na Sezam je dozvoljeno ostavljati samo freeware, shareware, public domain
i slične softvere.
mac.1144madamov,

> Znam da ovi novi imaju novije verzije procesora, ali me interesuje

Nemaju svi novije verzije procesora, 7200 i 7500 još imaju PowerPC 601,
dok 8500, 9500 i 7600 imaju PowerPC 604. Ovi sa 604 su drastično brži od
onih sa 601. Kažu da 7200/75 nije ništa brži od 6100/66, ali kada mu se
ugradi procesorski keš kažu da poleti. Inače, trenutno najbrži Mac ne
pravi Apple, već Power Computing: mašina sa PPC 604 na 180 MHz, ostavio
sam neku vest po tom pitanju nedavno.
> Da, da li postoje kod svih modela AV verzije ili su neki modeli
> po "defaultu" AV?
Ukinuta je oznaka, jer je doneta odluka da se osnovni set AV mogućnosti
standardno ugrađuje. Tako svi modeli 7200, 7500, 7600, 8500 imaju AV
mogućnosti, 7200 najslabije, 8500 najbolje. Razlike su u ulazno-izlaznim
video portovima, brzini "skidanja" videa itd.
> Ima li nekog? Baš smo sada u fazi u kojoj bi mi saveti oko konfiguracije
>i programa najviše trebali.
Muvam ja neke moje prijatelje, ali nemaju vremena, a ni interesovanja. A
što se konfiguracije tiče i programa to i nije toliki problem, samo reci
namenu i mogu ti i ja dati okvirni savet, a mogu i da te uputim na nekog
ko ti to bolje može reći za namene koje su mi manje poznate.
> Hvala na odgovorima.
Nema na čemu, samo ti navali još sa pitanjima.
mac.1146nesh,
-> #1144, madamov: namenu i mogu ti i ja dati okvirni savet, a mogu i da te uputim na nekog
: ko ti to bolje može reći za namene koje su mi manje poznate.
Xe, treba nam "standardna" konfiguracija za DTP.
Znači obrada velikih bitmapa = dooosta memorije :)
Po nekom mom raspitivanju došao sam do sledeće konfiguracije:
- 8500 ili 9500
- 92-128Mb memorije
- 2Gb interni hard
- 20" monitor Apple ili Sony
- bilo koji 14-15" monitor kao dodatni
- DockingStation MicroNet sa 2x2Gb hardovima
- IOmega Jazz - 260Mb(možda 1,3G)
E sad, čuo sam dosta lepih stvari o Apple i Sony monitorima, izgleda
da samo oni imaju Sony cevi a ljudi sa kojima sam pričao mi ih toplo
prporučuju čak i na račun Radiusa ili sličnih monitora, naravno u kombinaciji
sa opremom za kalibraciju.
Takođe sam nešto pričao o novom sitemu 7.5.3 (valjda) za višeprocesorske
Mac-ove i da će jedino sa 9500 biti moguć upgrade na njega. Inf?
Normalno, uz ovo ide i mrežni adapter (beše da Mac ima već ugrađenu
podršku) za 100Mbit mrežu.
Sve ovo je samo trenutna opcija za konfiguraciju, ako postoji nešto
bojle/jeftinije/lepše/pametnije :) rado ću poslušati savet.
Programi:
- PhotoShop 3.05
- QuarkXpress 3.3x (koja god da je zadnja)
- FreeHand 5.x
- PageMaker
- Kai's plug-inovi
- BlueBox - pluginovi
...
Jedino mi fali neki bolji text procesor.
Normalno sve originalno :)
U svakom slučaju 10*10x na odgovorima, i nadam se da ću uskoro moći da se
ovde prijavim sa Mac-a :)).
p.s. Nadam se da ne gnjavim :)
mac.1147madamov,

> Znači obrada velikih bitmapa = dooosta memorije :)
Obrada velikih bitmapa, NIKAD dosta memorije. B)
> - 8500 ili 9500
Ja bih išao na ovaj prvi, sad imaš i njegovu varijantu na 132 MHz, ima
built-in video koji može da zadovolji potrebe. Jedini razlog zašto bi se
išlo na 9500 je broj slotova - 6. Međutim, odbij jedan na grafičku
karticu i ostaje pet. Ne mnogo u odnosu na 3 koliko ima 8500, tj. pitanje
je da li se isplati.
> - IOmega Jazz - 260Mb(možda 1,3G)
Jazz ima kertridže od 1 Gb. Nije loša stvar (ja imam ZIP), ali ćeš biti
usamljen, bar u početku. Gospoda grafičari su opremljeni 1.3 Gb
magneto-optičkim diskovima koliko sam uspeo da ukapiram (znam ih
trojicu). I, naravno, SyQuestima.
> E sad, čuo sam dosta lepih stvari o Apple i Sony monitorima
Što se toga tiče, koliko sam čuo šampion je SuperMatch PressView. Da, ima
kalibrator. B)
> Takođe sam nešto pričao o novom sitemu 7.5.3 (valjda) za višeprocesorske
> Mac-ove i da će jedino sa 9500 biti moguć upgrade na njega. Inf?
Netačno, evo ga radi na mom ci-u, radi mi u firmi na Centrisu, 6100 i
8100. O multiprocesorskoj podršci znam da je Apple dao zeleno svetlo
DayStar-u da za svoj Genesis MP napravi ekstenziju koja omoućava sistemu
da radi na multiprocesorskoj mašini, nema veze sa System-om 7.5.3.
> Normalno, uz ovo ide i mrežni adapter (beše da Mac ima već ugrađenu
> podršku) za 100Mbit mrežu.
Ne, nego za normalni 10 MBit Ethernet. Za 100 MBit ćeš morati da kupuješ
mrežnu karticu.
> - FreeHand 5.x
Ovo je trenutno na 5.5.
> Jedino mi fali neki bolji text procesor.
Ako si navikao, uzmi Office pa u njemu Word. Možeš da razmisliš i o
WordPerfectu ili Nisus Writer-u.

Are Apples Good for You?
Answers to those nagging questions about the folks who make Performas
By Deborah Branscum
Macintoshes have always appealed to people who don't consider themselves
particularly technical. That's not surprising, since Apple pioneered the
concept of plug-and-play machines that are simple to use and easy to
upgrade. But now some of the families who might benefit most from the
Macintosh Performa worry about the wisdom of buying one. And no wonder:
Although most of the media roar has died down, press accounts early this
year made it easy to believe that Apple was not long for this world.
The company's recent hefty losses and the drops in its stock prices
rightly concern investors and company executives. But they don't mean
that this $12 billion company is down for the count. Apple is far from

If you're about to buy a new family computer, Apple's troubles may be
raising questions about whether you would be better off buying a Windows
PC. There may be good reasons to buy a Windows PC for your family, but
Apple's health as a company shouldn't be high on the list. To help give
you a sense of the state of Apple, here are responses to the most common
queries I've been asked about the company.
Q: Will Apple stop selling home computers? I've heard the company will no
longer sell inexpensive Macs.
A: Company executives say Apple remains committed to the home market, one
of the areas in which the Mac has been most successful. The company does
plan to reduce the number of models it offers for the home, James
Buckley, president of Apple Americas, told me. He said that during visits
to retailers last fall, it quickly became apparent that sales reps,
consumers, and Apple employees were confused about the differences among
the many Mac models available. Although this streamlining may reduce the
number of choices available, it should also clear up the confusion
consumers have faced when deciding on which Mac best suits their needs.
Q: If I buy a Mac Performa now, will Apple go out of business and leave
me stranded for service and support?
A: The probability of Apple going out of business and abandoning
customers is close to zero, according to analysts who closely follow the
computer business. And Mac owners should expect to be supported even if
the company is acquired or involved in a merger -- although Apple's new
chief executive officer, Gilbert Amelio, has made it clear that the
company plans to remain independent.
Apple's certainly no champ in the corporate arena, but sales are strong
in the publishing, home, and education markets. The company still has a
larger share of the education market than any other computer maker.
According to Quality Education Data, 58 percent of K-12 computer
purchases during the 1995-1996 school year will have been Macs. Apple is
also the top computer maker represented at colleges and universities, and
more students own Apples than any other brand.
Why do Apple's sales in education matter? They simply underscore that you
can expect Apple to remain in business for some time.
Q: Does the company have a future? Is it working on any new technologies?
A: It's impossible to predict how well the company (or any company) will
be doing in five years, but Apple's new CEO appears to have renewed
employee morale and helped energize work on future products. Later this
year, you will see a new version of the Mac's operating system and more
Mac clones, among other developments.
The next version of the Macintosh operating system, nicknamed Copland, is
expected to be out by the end of this year. Some of the interface
improvements will be especially useful for families. The operating system
will allow multiple users to set individual preferences, for example, so
the desktop and applications can look a particular way for each member of
the household. You will have considerable control over your children's
workspaces on the computer and be able to structure their access to menu
items, applications, folders, and the Trash Can.
In February, Motorola announced it had licensed Apple's operating system.
Motorola is the first large company to do so, and the action revived
Apple's flagging and half-hearted licensing efforts. Motorola will build
its own Mac clones, and it will also sell to other companies computer
components that run the Macintosh operating system. That means you may
have an opportunity to buy low-end Mac clones later this year as well.
Q: The overwhelming majority of personal computers use Intel chips to run
Windows software. Are there any advantages to buying a Macintosh Performa?
A: Despite the introduction of Windows 95, the Mac maintains its
reputation for the best operating system overall. In one leading computer
industry publication, for example, the Mac got the highest mark from
testers who compared Windows 95, OS/2 Warp, Windows NT, and the Mac.
Need more reassurance? Last March, the industry types who belong to the
Software Publishers Association also gave the thumbs-up to the Mac and
judged it superior to Windows 95. For the test, a computer magazine
editor assembled a Hewlett-Packard machine using Windows; a 10-year-old
boy did the same with a Performa. The 10-year-old completed his list of
eight tasks in just over 17 minutes; the editor using Windows took 28
minutes to finish.
Apple also offers great service and support. Performas consistently rank
among FamilyPC's highest-rated multimedia machines. Apple's history of
support is sound as well; after the company stopped selling its Apple II
computer, it offered tech support and parts for another seven years.
Q: Won't my choice of software be limited if I buy an Apple computer?
Aren't developers abandoning the Mac?
A: Certainly some software makers no longer develop for the Mac or
develop for Windows first. So there are Windows applications that are not
available for the Mac (just as there are about 900 Mac-only programs).
But because of Apple's strong presence in schools, software companies
such as Microsoft, Claris, Br+derbund, Maxis, and many others say they
remain committed to the Macintosh platform, so you can expect to find
plenty of software that meets your family's needs. Many multimedia titles
are actually developed on Macs, which have a loyal following among
graphics professionals and multimedia developers, among others. What you
do give up if you buy a Mac is access to a variety of business software
programs and games -- two areas in which the Mac is not as strong as
Windows.
Q: Even if buying a Mac now is safe, shouldn't I wait to see how the
company does?
A: Like other computer companies, Apple introduces new models about twice
a year, so you should wait to make a purchase if you want a
high-performance machine that should meet your needs for several years.
But if you want a new computer now, it's a good time to buy a Performa.
Because of Apple's problems in forecasting sales, the company began the
year with a $1.9 million backlog in inventory that must be sold. Until
the backlog disappears, you can expect some great prices.
Here's one example: Apple has teamed with Sears to offer a "Bring
Learning Home" promotion that benefits schools as well as consumers.
Sears is offering a Performa 6116CD and Stylewriter 1200 bundle for the
bargain price of $1299. At press time, that represented a savings of
roughly $400 over nationally advertised prices.
Keep in mind that the Bring Learning Home bundle is old technology; it
includes only a double-speed CD-ROM drive and a low-speed 14.4-kbps
modem. But that may be adequate for some families, and parents who buy
the Sears bundle can help participating schools by donating their proofs
of purchase, which the schools can then redeem for free Apple products
for classroom use. The program runs until June 20.
Q: Are other computer companies more stable than Apple?
A: Apple faces serious challenges in rebuilding profit margins and market
share. But it is hardly alone in having problems. In fact, computer
companies often go through boom-and-bust business cycles. For example,
according to Business Week, AST Computer "has been plagued with endless
reorganizations and revolving-door management," and the last time it made
a profit was March 1994. Although Packard Bell's sales were up last year,
analysts believe that the company lost money and has cash-flow problems
(Packard Bell denies the allegations). Even blue-chip IBM has been a
notable flop in the personal computer market, with disappointing sales of
its home machines.
It's impossible to predict whether Apple's reorganization and new
strategies will be successful. The company may not last forever, despite
the cries of die-hard fans and employees. But Apple's Performas should be
a viable option for some time to come if your family is looking for a
solid, easy-to-use computer.

I used to work at the company that did all of the pre-press work on
Microsoft's cartons. I thought that you might be interested in knowing
that all of the cartons that Microsoft has printed are created on the
Macintosh including the Windows 95 box. This could very well be old news
to you or the public at large. But if not, I thought that you might be
interested in knowing.

Just a quick note to point out something you can tell everyone... The
Chicago Bulls Win With Macintosh!
The Chicago Bulls, 1996 NBA Champions have a secret weapon, the league's
most sophisticated computerized video coaching system based on Macintosh
and Newton.
In a secure dedicated room next door to the locker room at the United
Center, walls are filled with rack-mounted Macs digitizing the games'
video feed from multiple camera angles in real time. Like a scene from
mission control, a team of specialists sit in front of a wall of monitors
switching the cameras. Another group operates three Macs with 21" touch
screens running a custom front end that allows them to log each play, for
each team, along with player, location on the court and outcome.
This database is correlated to the SMPTE time code of the digital video
to provide instant random access of each play that needs to be analyzed.
A Newton is used on the bench to log scenes that coaches are interested
in and dumped into the database. At halftime, while in the locker room,
several Macs connected to a 52" big screen display are used to cue up,
slow-mo and review the critical plays from the first half, (ever wonder
why the Bulls always play better in the second half?). They even have a
custom-built Mac that accompanies them on the road. Having seen this
system in operation, it's very impressive.
So, sure the Bulls are now the World Champian NBA team due to players
like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippin and Dennis Rodman... but they also
have another competitive advantage-the Macintosh!
